Most often he takes a mate with whom he remains for life. This might be a tiny island shallow spot in a stream. With his sharp teeth he cuts and peels slender sticks as well as larger trees. The male beaver is the hard worker of the family. With the sticks he has cut down, cemented by mud, ■the beaver builds his house. By Spring there are probably three or four young in the den. Next the beaver builds a dam down stream. He must be sure that the water around his < house will stay deep all year long.
